"No, you can't kill him."
Both handsome, both tall, there stood
in front of me two men. One I had dreamed to spend my life with, and
the other had taken it away. There was blood, lots of blood,
splattered on the wall, and in a corner, lay my empty shell.
Kyle, my lover, was panting
uncontrollably. He was perspiring from head to toes even though it
was in the mid of December. A shiny object, a knife, appeared in the
killer's hand. Many times I had dreamed of my prince, whose memory
alone had given me courage; however, I didn't wish to see him here
tonight.
Knife drawn out, wearing a sinister
smile, the killer approached Kyle slowly. During the last twenty
minutes, when my nerves were frazzled, Kyle, five feet in the air,
jumped and kicked the killer, from whom came groaning, as if he was
confessing. Disarmed, the killer didn't look so intimidating anymore.
"You will pay." Kyle picked up the
knife.
I wanted to hold Kyle back but I no
longer had a physical body, at least not a functional one. Killing
him wouldn't bring me back, and I didn't wish Kyle to become a
murderer. Down on my knees, I prayed, even I was already dead, when
tears began to well behind my eyes, and I pleaded to God, "Please
don't let Kyle to become a murderer."
As if time had stopped, a girl in white
appeared and spoke to me. "Your love have touched me. I will give
you three minutes. His fate is in your hands." For the very first
time since I died, I could feel alive, again. Killer on the floor,
Kyle in front of me, and behind Kyle lay the physical body of mine.
"Am I dreaming? Is that you, Eric?"
Kyle broke into tears, tried to hold me, except there was nothing but
emptiness. The killer, on the other hand, was stricken with fear, and
became catatonic.
Time was running out. I knew what I
must do, for I had seen what happen to the evil, and I didn't wish
Kyle to suffer the same consequence.
"Kyle, you can't kill him. If you do,
you will become a murderer and be cursed eternally when you enter
afterlife." I pleaded.
"Eric, he had no right to take you
away from me." Kyle shook uncontrollably, probably from anger, or
fear, or a combination of both. "I will never rest until I avenge
you."
I sighed, looking at the killer, and
remembered it was a rainy day, just like another ordinary day, that I
died, on the way back from the Gay Youth Crisis Center. I didn't
realized I was followed. As an outspoken gay right activist, I did
what was right and was no stranger to threats. Kyle and I shared a
similar passion: to support our community. We had been called names,
but we were not craven. Kyle was my rock, my love, and my reason to
continue to fight. When he smiled, my heart skip a beat. He shines.
"Kyle. I don't seek vengeance but
only your happiness. Killing him won't bring me back." I was
saddened to see Kyle's face twisted with anger and sorrow. "He will
be cursed eternally in hell but I don't want you suffer the same
fate." I wanted to reach out, hold his hands, kiss him, and tell
him about the our dreams, but the clock was ticking, my life fading
away, fast.
The knife dropped. Kyle broke down.
"It is not fair. The killer is right
in front of me and you won't let me avenge you." Kyle lay down on
the floor as if he was a corpse. I laid my face against his chest,
counting his heart beats and the minutes I had left.
"I have decided to be reborn. And if
you are still single, we could be boyfriends again."
"I will be a very old man." Kyle
smiled with tears all over his handsome face.
"Not just any old man but one with a
very young beautiful boyfriend." I couldn't fight the tears
anymore. Kyle tried to dry my tears with the back of his hand but I
was fading.
The room had become brighter and
warmer, and it was time for me to go. I had no regret and I didn't
wish for Kyle to wait for me. There will be another man. A good man.
Someone to console and comfort Kyle. I will be reborn, someone brave
and strong, to protect people I love. And if our stars are right, we
may meet and fall in love again.
